Alcibiades Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alcibiades Stakes is a Grade II race for thoroughbred horses run at Keeneland each year and is open to two-year-old fillies willing to race one and one-sixteenth miles on the dirt. Beginning in the racing season of 2007, this race has been upgraded by the American Graded Stakes Committee from a Grade II event to a Grade I. It offers a purse of $400,000.
Sponsored by Darley Racing since 2003, the Alcibiades Stakes was named for Hal Price Headley's great foundation mare Alcibiades.
In 2006, it was in its 55th running.
